“Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated” is the phrase Jon Horst must be saying after all the rage bait from the national media desperately begging the Milwaukee Bucks to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo. But the Bucks have gotten through the trade deadline with they’re superstar still in Milwaukee and a few new faces.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Thanasis Antetokounmpo
3. Alex Antetokounmpo
4. Ousmane Dieng

* 2026 first (will receive the less favorable of their pick and the Pelicans’)
* 2026 second from Utah (only if pick 55 or later)

* 2030 first (will receive least favorable between theirs and Portland’s)

Now that the cloud of Giannis departure rumors is gone for the rest of the season, it will be interesting to see what the Bucks do for the remainder of the season. Do you believe they push for a playoff spot or try to improve their draft lottery odds?
